What are the 5 most useful items..

[SCL]

After finally taking the plunge to buy a boat am intrigued about what are the most useful items or gadgets you can’t do without. Battery monitoring, condensation control, solar lamp, chocolate...?

No need.  There've already been 32 suggestions on the other thread ranging (in order) from a dog to a guitar and including several varieties of alcohol.

I wonder if a breadmaker would be worthwhile?

Does it need a lot of excited e's?

My best purchases are:

A good rucksack, food fuel, firewood, laundry. It's about forty years old now.

A super quality, modern companion set, Ebay £27.50

A set of heavy saucepans from ALDI £89.99

Winter boots, Ebay offer £65.00 

Bug zapper, like a tennis raquet, cheapo shop £3.50

Yet to be tested for a full winter on the cut

Bahco smallish Bow Saw

Winter grip things like crampons, but fit over your winter boots for walking on icy surfaces,

I also have two very cosy coats, one was £100 (that was half price) from Mountain Warehouse, even the hood is warm, recently I was in Edinburgh Woolen Mill closing down sale and got a lovely warm jacket reduced to clear from £50to £20, it's very smart.

time as well to draw those excited e’s, think ours has a “rapid” setting to knock out certain loaves in about 2hrs, but normally you’re looking at 4hrs for a loaf or 45mins for pizza dough.

So it just makes dough, huh, that's the easy bit, I thought it would bake the bread?

UPDATE

Yep it bakes and makes all sorts of things, but the one I looked at needs 580watts and I only have a 375 invertor.

no, it can make dough of several types depending on recipe, which is a quicker cycle.

 

it will bake you a finished loaf, which is a longer cycle. it does involve a lot of resting during that time so unsure of the power draw at those points.
